Hello everyone. Thanks to the help of interested parties we have started making the first steps towards bringing a mobile classroom to Cabanatuan City.
Through the last blog post and with a mass plea through Facebook, the logo for this project is being cobbled together. There were questions over the vision for the logo and what the actual name of the mobile classroom would be, we have some answers.
The name of the program is currently: EduK (A Mobile Classroom)
Edukasyon is the spelling of education in Tagalog. Obviously it came from the English form. The reason the "K" is to apply to words such as kabataan (Children, Pronounced: kah-bah-tah-ahn) and knowledge. There were other words in Tagalog but I wasn't able to keep up with the stream of suggestions. It's a short name and it looks and sounds nice.
The "(A Mobile Classroom)" portion acts as an emergency descriptor for people who don't know what EduK is. Also, it makes it sound like a classy perfume or cologne.
The actual image is still undecided but I know I have at least one person currently working on it. I gave suggestions of using a transportation theme (wheels, cars, trikes, etc) and gave a short list of pride items from my city. We love to brag about all the trikes we have and we grow rice like no other here, both are trotted out as bragging rights in conversation in other cities.
The logo is a big deal and when it is finalized I expect to really get moving. I'll have my eyes set on making a trailer for our project for potential donors and I'll need to start coming up with ideas for donor incentives. A large project for sure but taken piecemeal will ease my load.
Thanks for the support and interest and I hope to update you soon on more progress.
